Catastrophic Microinsurance Regional Project

closed

The macro objective of the project is to develop microinsurance products that will protect low income people in the Caribbean and Central American region against catastrophes (hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, etc) and epidemics to which they are vulnerable (e.g., cholera and other severe illness). Although MiCRO has already established many of the key technical resources needed to achieve these goals, additional support is needed in three main areas: business development, product development and implementation, and development of an Operations Manual and Best Practices (including financial education for clients and training for trainers, program education for new partners, a best practices manual based on client MFI¿s implementation experience, etc).
